Historical Society The SEATTLE REPUBLI SEATTLE REPUBLICAN EPUBLICAN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1904 There should be no more keen disposition to sue street car companies than private individuals, where accidents occur under circumstances that no one has any control of or could not possibly prevent, but this was pure carelessness, if not actual cussedness. Another accident occurred on the street car line running out to Fremont last Monday in which a man was thrown from the car into the lake and instantly killed. He evidently lost his balance and fell from the car, and it being under headway gave it the appearance of him having been thrown therefrom. In the platform of every Democratic convention held this year can be found remarks bearing on the entertaining of Booker T. Washington by President Roosevelt and holding it up as one of the reasons the President should not be elected this year, and despite these resolutions and brutal remarks on the part of the Democratic spielers, you can find Negroes supporting the Democratic nominee for president. He who wrote, "truth is stranger than WASHINGTON DIN fiction," must have looked down the corridors NER STILL A DEMO of time and seen this particular case, for it was CRATIC THORN IN never more apropos. If it is a National disgrace for the president of the United States to entertain a Negro from a Democratic stand- The present has been a year of a remarkable number of public mishaps, which have resulted in a great loss of human life, and when the year will have closed, if the average crop of accidents continue in just half the ratio that they have for the past seven months or more, a long and bloody record will be the result. The Colorado accident, in which a railroad train heavily laden with human beings point, what, in Heaven's name, could we expect if a real live Democrat should become president? The Negro that will vote for Parker and Davis would sell himself into human slavery if he could get his price. The actions of the Democratic party in all of the so called Southern states are nothing short of forcing the Negro back into a certain form of slavery equally as bad as that from which he was liberated in 1863, and it behooves the Negroes themselves to take a bold stand for their rights. The ambition of a few Negroes to hold office should pale into insignificance in comparison to all of them being given the rights of freeman. The damnable career of such brutes as Tillman and Vardaman must be headed off or another civil war sooner or later will be the result. TRAIN WRECK CARRIES TO DEATH OVER ONE HUNDRED LIVES. death of almost every one thereon, is the very latest. The accident occurred last Sunday and it is believed that the actual number lost is way above the hundred mark, but it is safe to say, the actual number lost on that train will never be completely told. The engineer who ventured his train across that bridge with a mountain stream full and overflowing and sweeping down the mountains like a cyclone, lost his life at the same time as did the scores of others, and, under the circumstances, it might be considered out of place to censure him, but he certainly did act most unwisely and in the future engineers should be instructed at the employing office to take no chances where bridges might have become unsafe on account of high waters, fires or storms. The average American has become so accustomed to taking hair breadth chances that, it is not only done when the one individual's life is in jeopardy, but it is done when scores of others are likewise jeopardized, and employees should be carefully instructed along those lines by employers and any infractions of those rules, whether an accident does or does not happen the one committing the act should not only be fired, but punished by law. Dr. Samuel Burdett, well known in Seattle, is now in Eastern Washington and has actually begun the establishing of a colony of Negroes on some of the fertile lands of that section of the state. This has been the dream and fondest hope of Dr. Burdett for the past twelve years and now that he has some settlers actually started his way he is feeling exceedingly jubilant. In 1896, when Andrew F. Burleigh was receiver of the Northern Pacific, A COLORED COLONY he came very near interesting both Burleigh and HAS BEEN BEGUN Governor John H. McGraw in the scheme and BY DR. SAM'L BUR DETT. would have had not the hard times struck the country about that time and had not Burleigh templated. He had his maps made and the lands surveyed and he intended at that time to locate his colony near Pasco, but subsequent developments have changed his plans and he is now locating them further west and in a valley, which he says, can be easily irrigated, and so fertile that, even if it is not irrigated, it will produce excellent stuff. There is a vast amount of vacant government lands in Eastern Washington that is but awaiting the settler and water to make it bloom like a May garden on the banks of the Mississippi river, and if Burdett and those interested with him in the scheme are able to locate a large number of colored families on those lands and then induce them to stick for a couple of years it will be a God send to all concerned. In the Sunnyside country, which is about fifty miles from the lands he is locating on, there is already a very progressive colored colony and each of them is doing exceedingly well from a financial standpoint and are anxious for others to come and settle among them. The following dispatch bearing on the Colorado disaster is self explanatory and reproduced for the benefit of that class of Anglo-Saxons that never see anything commendable in the Negro: W. Vance, porter on the forward sleeper, Wyuta, was one of the heroes of the disaster. To him and his nerve and bravery the people on that car owe their lives. He was standing near the front end of the car when the crash came, and with a rare presence of mind rushed to the hand brake on the car and began tightening the brakes on the wheels. His car was slipping forward from the momentum and from the terrible drag of the forward cars falling into the A NEGRO PORTER THE HERO OF THE COLORADO HORROR. A NEGRO PORTER THE HERO OF THE COLORADO HORROR. stream. Vance held on to the brake like grim death. His hands clenched the wheel until his fingers almost bled, but he held on until his tight grip stopped the car. The forward cars broke from the sleeper and fell into the water, while the car which Vance held with the brake stopped one-third of the way on the brink of the chasm, overhanging the gulch below. The forward trucks had left the track and gone down, but the remainder of the coach stayed on the track and the lives of the passengers were saved. The street car accident in Seattle last Tuesday was, judging from all the circumstances reported, one of the most hartless and brutal that has ever before occurred in this city. Clifford Green lost his life, his father's team wrecked and the father himself only saving his life by an extraordinary leap, was all brought about, it would seem, by the wrecklessness of the motorman trying to make up lost time. The owners of the street car line of course are It required two engines and nearly a half hour's work to pull this sleeper back from the brink of the chasm. Nothing but Vance's cool and brave work at the brake kept the car from plunging into the stream.

Here is a case There should be no compromise, the Times to the contrary notwithstanding. The Maison Barberis' dive should be cleaned out. All this talk about the place having been made like unto a Sunday school dining hall is rot pure and simple. It is quite true that Jack Barberis has opened up a similar place on Yesler avenue, but if the city council grants him a license for his place on Second avenue it would begin at once to drift back to its old channel and Roy McRoberts, the colonel and Red would hold high lonesomes there as of yore. where the company should be compelled to pay heavy damages, but under the rulings of our Supreme Court the parents of the unfortunate boy can not recover only such amount as he might have reasonably earned until he was of age and his funeral expenses. --- --- VOL.

Reams entertained at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. John T. Gayton last Tuesday evening, in honor of their daughter, Mrs. A. B. Ball, who was visiting with them. A number of guests were present and a most enjoyable evening was spent, cards and dancing being the chief pleasures of the evening. Those present: Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Ball, Mr. and Mrs. J. I.

The barbecue at Ravensdale was a most brilliant success, so comes the report, and there was a grand outpouring of miners present. The meeting was addressed by Hon. J. H. Schively, state insurance inspector, and by Hon. George Reiley of Tacoma. Miss Mabel Walker, also of Tacoma, read the emancipation proclamation. Mr. Schively, it is reported, made the effort of his life in his address, and the hundreds of black and white miners were highly delighted with his remarks. Smith's string band was highly complimented for the music rendered during the day. The intended barbecue at Franklin petered out, as even the Franklinites themselves all went to Ravensdale. COLORED QUARTET COMING. The Claflin Quartet, students of Claflin University, South Carolina, which is a Methodist Episcopal school for colored youths, will sing at the First Methodist church, corner Third avenue and Marion street, Sunday forenoon. In the evening they will sing at Ballard. Monday evening at Haven church and Tuesday at Grace church. No admission will be charged to hear this charming quartet of sweet THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN voices, but the collection lifted will be given to them. They are out with the view of raising some much needed funds for their school, and it is hoped that a crowded house will greet them Sunday forenoon and that a most liberal contribution will be given them. They could be singing for no nobler cause and it is hoped their efforts will be crowded with a flattering success. Go to a respectable place to borrow money on diamonds, jewelry and watches.

TELEPHONE RAINIER JP. --- ee ee The cost of living is a theme recently treated by the Labor Bulletin sent out from Washington City. From thirty-three different- states 5,567 families were selected from labor centers. Only families not receiving over $1,200 during the year were considered and then only such families as could give correct information as to their living expenditures in detail. After carefully inquiring into the matter, it was found that each family received during the LIVING EXPENSES Year on an average of $827.19. The average IN UNITED STATES¢xpenditure for all purposes was $768.64. After AS FOUND BY THE‘educting the expenditures from the income LATE CENSUS. it will be seen that each family had to its eredit at the close of the year $58.65, which he could lay away and draw interest on for a rainy day. Of the amount he expended $326.90 were for food or 42.54 per cent of the whole amount expended. These families averaged 5.31 persons, which was .07 persons above the average family as reported by the late cansus. Considering the fact that the ‘‘trusts’’ for ‘the past few years have been able to push up the price of food as well as the other necessities of life at will the above is by no means a bad show- ing. The man with a large family while he is the only bread winner is doing well to take care of them all, send the children to school, and yet at the end of the year have a bank account of $58.65. The man with a much less family would under similar circumstances be able to lay away twice or three times that amount, and, if he happens to be of a speculative turn of mind could invest it each year so that within a decade or more he would be worth anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000, and, according to the average calamity howler’s theory, he would be ‘‘the rich getting richer,’’ while the fellow with the large family would be the poor getting poorer. Discussing the Negro vote in those states where he is allowed to cast his ballot the sime as any one else the following figures have been given out for publication, which will show to, not only the Negro himself, but to every one how very important his vote is in the coming election. The Negro can not only elect Roosevelt, but he ean likewise make sure a Republican Congress, which should take the bits in its mouth and at once reduce the con- NEGROES OF THEgressional representation from the South. In NORTH BALANCE these Northern states where the Negro is most OF POWER IN COM-numerous he is numerically estimated as fol- ING CAMPAIGN. lows: Pennsylvania, 156,845; New York, 99,242 ; Ohio, 96,901; Illinois, 85,078; New Jersey, 69,844; Indiana, 57,505; Kansas, 52,003; Massachusetts, 31,974; Michigan, 15,518; Connecticut, 15,226. Then, in pretty nearly every state in the North, East and West there is to be found a more or less Negro population, whose vote is quite significant, if not on the general results, on legislative and congressional results, which has a more or less direct bearing on the outcome of the present great struggle be- tween the Republican and Democratic parties for national supremacy. While the Negro politician is rightly expecting and demanding a good deal from the Republicans in the way of. official recognition, yet he should not overlook the fact that, he is greatly in need of national assistance at this time, from the very fact that, he is being hotly pursued by such varmints as Tillman and Vardaman and, if overtaken, will be literally torn to pieces, and for that reason, it behooves him to stand nearer the Republican party now than ever before. The office of the Seattle Republican is at 214 Columbia street, with the Aeme Publishing Company. Main 305. 2 HON. GEORGE MUDGETT, who was nominated by the Democrats for state treasurer, is the exceptional Democrat, and so exceptional is he that, he is really very strong even among Republicans, and, it is here predicted that, he will get a great many Republican votes next November. When a Populist can be twice elected to the most important office in an overwhelmingly Republican county, purely on his own per- sonal promises, which is believed on account of the past standing of the man in the com- munity, and, then be re-elected on the record he made in office; retire from office for two years and again be nominated and elected on the record he made while in office and then be re-nominated and elected a fourth time on the splendid record he made while conducting the office, and all, as said above, in a very largely Republican county, it is quite plain to the average citizen that, there is more to the man than the mere ordinary. This is the record of George Mudgett, the Spokane nominee for state treasurer on the Demoeratie state ticket, and who will re- ceive quite a few Republican votes and by no means will all of them come from Spokane county, but from every section of the state. POLITICAL. In a long interview to the Times, the editor of the Davenport Tribune, who, by the way, is an old-time rabid Democrat, tells of the great disintegration in his county among the Republicans. How remarkably strange that Democrats always know more about Republican disaffection than Republicans themselves. He tells of the number of Re- publican papers that will bolt their party nominees and yet those self same papers have not said as much. The Times takes that interview as a cue and proceeds to point out to the Republicans on the West side that, they are already beaten and had better jump in the band wagon. Republicans are darn fools if they pay any attention whatever to THE SEATTLE: REPUBLICAN ee | oS =~ ee : Wa ¥ an a ; < ‘ i] what Democratic editors have to say about Republicans leaving their party and flock- ing to the Demoeratie party. Republicans do not often do that and when they do so it is for selfish reasons. Republicans in this state deserted their party in 1896, but it was because they believed that free silver would relieve the starvation then prevailing in this country brought about by too much Cleve- landism. They did not get what they voted for, and while they were waiting to get an- other whack at it MeKinleyism came sweep- ing along and gave them more than they had expected under Bryanism in its more favor- able light. That prosperity brought about by McKinleyism is still with us, hence Re- publicans have no excuse to desert their Friday, August 12, 1904. He is by no means the professional politician as he for many years before paying any at- tention at all to politics was either a farmer or engaged in the butcher business. He has been a citizen of that section of the state since 1882 and is known by almost every- body, and all because, in all of his dealings, he has always given the other fellow a square eut. George Mudgett is pronounced a prince by those who have had business dealings with him and likewise by those who have political relations with him. He is an Iowain by birth and received what education he has in the common schools of that state. He emigrated to the state of California in 1879 and, as said above, came to the Palouse coun- try in 1882. His only experience in holding a public office was as treasurer of Spokane county and he held that simply because he was considered and proved to be the quint- esence of honesty and uprightness. He is liberal and broad gauged in his dealings with the human family and knows no man by his color, nationality or his religion. In office he is as fair to the opposite partisan as to the man of his own party and that doubtless was one of the reasons so many Republicans voted for him after he had served his first term. party at this time, and they will not do so only in isolated cases. Wagoner’s First Regiment band will give an excursion to the Straits and to the open ocean Sunday, August 14th, and the friends of the band are invited to spend the day with them. The fare for the round trip is $1 and the elegant S. S. Santa Clara will do the honors. This promises to be one of the most enjoyable excursions that will have been given this season, and they further promise to give the passengers an oppor- tunity to see the ‘‘whale,’’ if it shows up on the route and that too without extra expense. The steamer leaves from the Arlington dock at 8:30 a. m. Friday, August 12, 1904. POLITICAL POT-PIE THE PUBLIC LIAR. The Times-Knocker Is ‘‘The Lying Dick Talbot’’ of This Town The ‘‘Belzebub, Lord of the Dung.’’ Poets have written much of love, of liberty, of fame, of peace, of war, of wealth and of poverty, but they have written little of liars. This because all the world hates a liar, de- spises mendacity. What ‘‘Lying Dick Tal- bot’? was to the reign of King James II, the Times-Knoeker is to Seattle and the state of Washington. Lying is its habit, its dis- position, its disease; mendacity has become chronie with this public blotch on the world of newspaperdom. So proverbial is this lying that it is now known that ‘‘see it in the Times-Knocker and it is a lie’’ is the universal verdict. ‘‘Port Arthur has Fallen’’ in three-inch red type, accompanied by other large, startling head lines and fake dis- patehes, is only one of the many instances of this juggler with the truth. In the most scornful language and match- less rhetoric of the Great Master, liars are condemned to their rightful habitation— hell, and its torments. The hateful festering Belzebub, ‘‘Lord of the Dung,’’ was, by the ancients, symbolized as a ‘‘barnyard beetle,’’ living and thriving off the offal. So is it with the Times-Knocker. It deals in lies, panders to the low and apes all that is de- grading in yellow sensationalism. The lie that Chairman Palmer sent any message to Silver, at Bellingham, pledging support, was brazenly admitted and gloried in by this Publie Liar. Private character, personal reputation and public events and affairs, stand as naught with this Barnyard Beetle, “Erd of the Dung.’’ ““We do not give a damn about either platforms or planks, what we want this year is office,’’? blurted out that old South Caro- lina brute, Ben Tillman. Nothing, however, more tersely tells the tale from a Demoeratie standpoint than his words. The Democrats want office and propose to spend millions of dollars to get it. It was not so much modesty on the part of the Whatcom county Democrats in not accepting a single place on the Democratic state ticket as it was horse sense. Those fellows knew the ticket would be defeated by at least 30,000 and they decided that they had no money to burn in a losing campaign for office. Bryanism was turned down in the late Demoeratie convention at Bellingham with a dull thug and silver was not even given a passing consideration. For a Washing- ton Demoeratie state convention that seems almost miraculous. The change of heart was 16 to 1 more sudden than a March hare. Editor Carney of the Aberdeen Herald is a candidate for presidential elector on the Demoeratie ticket. Sop with empty honors THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN is what the poor newspaper man always gets from most parties and for even that, he is expected to always ‘‘carry the banner’’ in all the political dress parades. Its barely possible that the Democrats are going to get their bellies full of mud slinging before the state campaign is over. Persons living in glass houses should refrain frm chunking the other fellow with rocks lest he retaliate. Folk of Missouri seems to be a pretty good fellow, but he has reached the zenith of his political power, if he continues to advocate in Democratic circles, ‘‘honesty is the best policy’?! Nay, nay, Pauline! Just the opposite! Murder, highway robbery, corruption and bribery are the best policies for Democrats. For a Democrat to have fits over the Republicans oppressing the Filipinos is the most ridiculous proposition ever advocated. especially when the Democrat is at the self same time boring cork screws into the bodies of Negro women and tearing out great chunks of quivering flesh, because the woman fled with her husband only accused of crime from an army of savages whom she knew would take her husband’s life at sight. Chairman Palmer does not owe the Ta- coma Forum anything, not even the price of a subscription, and that probably explains why that sheet, though professedly Republi- can, continues to ‘‘knock’’ him. The Forum man seems to have a weakness for abusing persons that have showed him the greatest amount of consideration and Senator Palmer is no exception to his rule. “Tn speaking of the political outlook,’’ said Prosecuting Attorney Kirkpatrick to a reporter for the Northport Republican last week, ‘‘it is my opinion that Republican candidates for office this year are almost certain of success. For a time a slight dis- satisfaction appeared to exist because of the governorship, but the people are now begin- ning to look on the right side, and the most radical will be found in line supporting the Republican ticket on election day. The only trouble lies with dissatisfied politicians, but they are cooling down.’’ Mr. Kirkpatrick is a member of the state central committee, and in his extensive travels over the state has had sufficient opportunity of obtaining the views of the people to make his opinion worthy of consideration Northport Miner. DISSIPATED LOVE: ‘‘It is because so a Oe eee: aE ee See ae ee ee ee many married women make a dissipation of their love that causes much of the divorces between really good people,’’ said a lawyer when talking of the ceaseless grind of the divorce mill, the other day. ‘‘True love,’’ continued he, ‘‘is helpful, the enobling at- tribute in man; but when it is allowed to absorb, when it becomes the enslaving pas- sion, when it subverts all else and so en- slaves a human being that he or she can think of nothing else and is only content when it finds some outward manifestation, then it enslaves like any other tyrant. In such eases love becomes a dissipation. It is no, longer the love that is inspiring, that is helpful, that is enobling. It then becomes a sort of disease. He or she who so dissipates is rarely restfully happy even when alone with the object of this infatuation, because love so estray wants more and more, is never satisfied. Business, home, friends, so- cial obligations, even religion is as nothing. Such an one is always unhappy, could not be otherwise. Man is so made that when he abandons himself to some one thing other obligations, however important, are neglect- ed. So in a household where one or the other think only of love and some form of its manifestation, other things are forgotten. In the end this love leads to discord and to misery, and as the burying ground, to the divorcee court.” . The Public have a just cause of complaint against the Seattle Electrie Company engag- ing in the freight carrying business. The other day a contractor who is building a house on Fifteenth avenue bought his lumber in Ballard and had it hauled in on freight ears at two o’clock in the morning. It took two hours to unload the lumber and the noise of throwing heavy timbers kept the whole neighborhood awake. It was un- loaded adjoining the residence of Wilson R. Gay and the next morning he fired a good sized kick before the Board of Public Works, but since then other lumber has been brought in as before. The courts should be appealed to to correct such abuses. A Grand Excursion to Snoqualmie Falls ‘Wednesday, August 17th, will be given by the Epworth League of the First Methodist Church and a splendid outing is promised. While it is hoped that as many of the mem- bers of the League and similar Leagues will take advantage of the occasion and go with us, but as many as desire are welcome and in fact invited to go.

Mrs. Mary Murphy, who died last week at Meadville, Pa., claimed to have been born in the year 1770. Her second husband, who survives her, must have been her junior by fifty years or so. Mary must have cleverly concealed her age when she was young enough to cast about for a second husband. —Tacoma Ledger. “‘Mene mene tekel uphasen,’’ which is to say, ‘‘thou are weighed in a balance and found wanting,’’ simply because Attorney Pettybone failed to send his legal notices to The Seattle Republican for publication.

Determined policemen well instructed and not afraid to carry out their instructions, after all are the most successful strike breakers. When the American Negro reaches that point of Christian civilization that he can deliberately kill his mother-in-law and then commit suicide, even the most skeptical must admit, "the Negro is risen." That was an awful accident over in Colorado, but it was gratifying that an opportunity was given to the Negro to show to the world that he would risk his own life to try to save those intrusted to his care. It is ridiculously preposterous for even a Mississippian to think for a minute that a postoffice would ever be permitted to be named after that coarse, cowardly, blustering brute Vardaman, governor of that murderers' roost. Jack Barberis may eventually get his license, but it will have cost him almost as much money as his profits will amount to for a good long time before he does get it. He should never get it, and it will be a disgrace to the community in case he does. Portland, Oregon, has taken a dose of "open town" and has sadly repented that she did. The hell holes have been closed, but the old town is still over run with the "curious" and it will almost require a standing army to drive them out and start them to Tacoma. One by one the leaders of the great Civil War strife are passing away. Senator George Graham Vest, the old Missouri war horse, is the last to pass in his checks. He represented his state in Congress for twenty-five years. ```markdown ``` THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Just think of it, the Seattle Argus prints a picture of Congressman Cushman under favorable auspices. Did the "hundred eyed" monster catch Cush dead to rights and made him put up enough that he could afford for once to not blackguard him? How strange! Editor Moore of the White River Journal is giving his readers the glad hand so very extensively these days that, the first thing he knows, they will accuse him of wanting an office instead of a bushel of turnips or a load of wood on subscription. Don't you get funny Otis. We have often read of the "whale liar," but never before had an opportunity of actually seeing and talking to one. If Dudley will only go on exhibition in one of the many ten-cent museums in the city running a steamboat line wouldn't be in it from a money standpoint. Most assuredly "Great Britain is in accord with the United States" because it don't pay to be in discord with the old gentleman. And then again Great Britain is in discord with Europe in general and it is natural for a fellow to at least want one friend in the world. "Walla Walla do grow," says the Record of that place. Is that so? Well the occasional visitor to that town would not realize it, if it does, but, perhaps, the increased population is too busy in the jute mills to receive visitors or make any great home demonstrations. Unless the sick man of Europe pungles up and does it quick Uncle Sam proposes to make him a good deal sicker than what he is or has been. The United States government has been put off by Turkey just as long as she should stand for it, and her ultimatum should be: Pay up or fight. 'How would this sound: State of King, County of Seattle?' sarcastically comments the Whatcom Blade. "Good to me." King county and Seattle have a population almost as large as the balance of the state and her citizens are getting good and tired of carrying the taxpaying burden of the entire state. See. "How far away are the stars?" is a question butting about among the editors. Their distances vary. Some are so far away that you can reach them only by thought, while others you can see with your eyes closed and seem to actually feel them on coming in contact with a club in the other fellow's hand. Granted the soldiers of the Ninth cavalry did swipe those farmers' chickens living about American Lake even then they did no more than all soldiers do, but, owing to the fact the Ninth are Negroes, it was a most excellent opportunity for the other fellows to follow their usual customs of stealing everything in sight and charge it all up to the niggers. Just such things have been frequently done before. Tacoma's citizens showed their everlasting good sense in laying off from the Mardi Gras in sufficient numbers that it lost in the neighborhood of $2,000. For cities to make it possible for those vending fakes to clear up thousands of dollars every year is nothing to boast of on the part of any city. If Seattle would only give the Ringling robbers a like dose she would show her good sense. If the presses of a certain printing concern continue delaying the issuing of a certain booklet, which is a prediction of the near approach of the end of the world, we fear the end will be on the publisher before it is ready for mailing and he will be forced to attend to the duty of mailing it on the "other side." How the postal rates are we are unable to advise, and therefore it would be well for him to look into that matter at once. Colored Help Wanted There is now a strong probability that the South will be stripped of a large portion of its labor for work on the Panama canal. The isthmian canal commission is finding the labor problem one of the most difficult with which it has to deal and as yet they have been unable to determine from what source the 30,000 or perhaps 50,000 workmen needed will be drawn. Admiral Walker, chairman of the commission, has heretofore always shown objection to the plan of drawing workmen from the Negro population in the South, but since the immigration authorities, backed by Congress, have shut down on the scheme of importing Chinese coolies, the commissioners have now come face to face with the fact that they will not be able to fill a rush order for labor from the source at present in sight, which include the natives of Panama and the Negroes of Jamaica. Great hopes were staked on this Jamaica source of supply, but by a careful investigation the commission believes now that they will be unable to get more than 3000 or 4000 from this island. The native residents on the strip will of course furnish a working basis for the start, but an estimate of the available men on hand does not give more than 5000 or 6000. The commission must have at least 15,000 more at an early date after the canal work is fairly well under way and there is no closer place to draw from and no men better suited to the work than the phosphate miners and terpentine hands of the Negro population of the South. The wages for the canal diggers has not yet been decided on, but in the face of a scarcity of labor it is expected that a larger price will have to be given than was anticipated to induce the Negro laborers of the South to give up their present positions to go to a fever laden country. It will not be the idle or worthless class of Negroes of the South that the commission will draw from—more's the pity—for only an able bodied and healthy lot will be taken. The situation as it now faces the South therefore, is a very large decrease in its able-bodied force of workmen and a consequent probable rise in the price of plantation hands, turpentine workers and miners. Of course the taking away of 15,000 men amongst the many thousands more Negroes employed in the South might not seem at first glance to be a very serious loss, but it is the present condition of labor in the South that will make the difference. All the cotton fields it is said are hard pressed to get cheap labor, and should Panama prove attraticive to the class at present at work in the fields and in the phosphate mines, South Carolina and Georgia will be particularly affected. Some of the engineers here are figuring on doing the whole work on the canal with 30,000 men, but most of these estimates are mere guess work. Admiral Walker has never committed himself to an estimate of the number needed, but is known to have looked rather skeptical over the small number suggested by other engineers. The admiral has concentrated his heart on getting the canal finished in eight years at the most, and if it takes 50,000 to do the trick, he will not hesitate to make the necessary requisition. There is a possibillity of course that the contract for the work will be let out to a number of different firms. This in fact seems to be the more probable course at the present time, though the point has not been settled by the commission who, as it were, are "just looking around" to get their bearings before starting actual construction. WHAT WE INHERIT WITH THE PANAMA CANAL. With American control of the Panama canal opening the second chapter in the story of the great isthmian waterway, we inherit a graveyard of many wrecked hopes and lives, with their monuments strewn from the Atlantic to the Pacific in the shape of decaying relics of an earlier engineering perid. There is no richer diggings in the ruins of an ancient Rome or Pompeii than along the deserted route of the canal. For upward of a quarter of a century some $20,000,000 worth of decaying machinery, buildings, and engineering implements have been buried in the moist soil. In nothing was the early French company more extravagant than in purchasing supplies for the isthmus. These included nearly everything that man could think of, and the shipments of the goods to the isthmus kept employed a small fleet of large and small ships. Every steamer that touched the isthmus in those palmy days of canal digging unloaded stacks of supplies for the engineers and their subordinates. There was machinery by the scores and thousands of tons, large, small and medium size; costly machinery and antiquated types of no real value at all; machinery that was to be used, and machinery intended for waste; machinery that was as much out of place in that far-away corner of the earth as steam radiators in the Desert of Sahara. Why this endless amount of machinery was shipped there no one could explain; but it was all accepted, paid for, and then left to rot in the hot, moist climate. There were locomotives from Belgium and the United States, enormous steam hammers from England, great turning lathes from Germany, scoops, buckets, steel rails, and machine tools by the acre from all parts of the earth. There were no storehouses sufficient to hold all these supplies. There are 2,431 buildings on the isthmus left by the old Pan- ama company, many of which are hospital buildings and executive offices, but not all of these could store the machinery sent down to help dig the canal. What wonder, then, that machinery became ordinary articles of common use? Engineers and contractors stored what they could, and turned the rest out doors to the tender mercy of a climate that quickly destroys steel and iron. There were some who used the iron as foundations for their costly homes. Along the line of the canal, the silt of the soil is often as soft and slippery as quicksand. It filters through and into everything. It made the building of the canal a difficult engineering problem for the French, which they could never quite overcome. When you build substantial houses of stone and iron upon the running soil, there is no surety that the foundations will last. Some of the large houses built by the French officers of the company sank down into the silty soil, until today only the upper stories are visible. So, to make their homes more secure, some of them used the surplus machinery as foundations. There are houses on the isthmus that stand on $50,000 worth of machinery, which was never used for the purpose intended. In many similar ways the surplus machinery was employed to keep it from standing idle. In parts of the isthmus it is found buried ten and fifteen feet below the surface soil. Unearth it, and you find it as soft and porous as cheese. It may be a huge iron anchor, a steel bucket, or a cast-iron scoop, that protrudes above the soil to attract the attention. With a penknife it can be cut and pared as easily as if it were an apple. In some mysterious way, the soil and climate has disintegrated, and while retaining all of its outline and outward characteristics, it is no longer iron or steel. One wanders along the line of the canal to pick up odd pieces of relics, only to find them crumbling under the touch. Not all the machinery, however, has been cast aside to sink into the loose soil of the canal. At Colon and Emperador it is scattered over miles of land that has been set aside for this purpose. Here, indeed, is the graveyard of France's past ambitions. One stumbles upon the monuments of a past which will forever live in the memory of those in any way associated with the Isthmus of Panama or the canal. Millions upon millions of useless, rotting, neglected property stands exposed to the disintegrating influences of the climate, sadly out of date now and fit only for the junk pile, but teeming with memories and possibilities of the glorious past. There are miles upon miles of steel rails piled six feet high, sinking slowly into the soft soil, and rusting in the moist atmosphere. Rows upon rows of car wheels are apparent on every side, wheels which represent huge expenditures, but which were apparently simply dumped there and never used. Iron and steel buckets and scoops form an army of silent witnesses to man's folly and wasteful extravagance. Machine shops, filled with huge steam hammers and giant turning lathes for repairing the machinery used in excavating, are falling apart by their own weight. A dozen rows of locomotives—small in size and weight, and scarcely adapted to the work required of them—stand half sheltered under sheds that are themselves hardly able to stand up un- der their aged and weakened rafters. Rust and decay are apparent on these locomotives, as well as upon all other articles of use, and the hand of neglect appears stretched over the whole length and breadth of the isthmus. When the trade winds die out, and the hot, sultry air of the isthmus ceases to move, a white mist will sometimes rise out of the swelling ocean, and hover like a fog over land and sea. This white mist is the precursor of fever and sickness, and those of the isthmus who know remain within doors, unwilling to meet the ghost of the ocean half way. In the early days of the canal history, the white mist that rose from the disturbed soil of the isthmus was far more disastrous in its killing effects than the mist of the ocean. It rose from the soil like incense from a brazier. It carried with it from its underground prison all the poison of putrefaction, and wherever it inclosed its victims, there fever and death followed. The soil is moist and damp, and when disturbed in that hot climate, it releases a dense white mist. For generations past luxuriant vegetation has been decaying in the soil, and when the surface is scratched, strange, unhealthy gases and poisonous vapors rush toward to spread around. Tier upon tier of annual crops of rich vegetation are packed down solid over the surface of the soil. In this hotbed of feverish decomposition, the process of fermentation and disintegration is ever in active operation. Fortunately, nature holds most of the deadly exhalations in close prison walls; but when man comes along to disturb the even balance, trouble begins. In the hot, damp air of the isthmus, the poisonous exhalations released from the soil mingle with the mist, and the "white ghost of the canal" is accounted for. When the Frenchmen excavated for the canal, the mist hovered over their camps and homes during the greater part of the year. It entered nearly every home to claim its victims. Men died like beasts in the field. They were stricken at their work, in their tents, in their beds, and even at the gaming or wine and card table. It was all one with the monster; it knew neither rank nor condition, wealth nor poverty! Only the native knew enough to avoid it, and to keep away from the fever camps of the company.—Scientific American. Alton B. Parker like to have fallen dead when he last Wednesday learned from a committee of Democrats, who found him out plowing on his farm, that the great Democratic party had selected him as their standard bearer for the coming political battle. He had not heard of it before, so absorbed had he been in the cultivation of his 'taters and 'bacco.' "Why, certainly I will accept the honor, and I am very thankful to you fellows for coming after me." Grandaddy Davis has also been informed of his being named as Parker's running mate, and he, too, was greatly surprised, but was willing to do his best. The New York Sun has come out for Roosevelt and Fairbanks and it editorially declares that they will carry New York beyond a shadow of doubt. It roasts the St. Louis platform and gives Parker himself a touch of high life. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE State of Washington, in and for King County. B. A. Kilks, plaintiff, vs. P. B.
